Golda Meir: Labor Party
built 282 days ago
Golda joined the Poalei Zion (Labor Zionist Organization) in l915 and she and her husband settled in Palestine in l921 during the period of the Third Aliya, and joined kibbutz Merhavia. (Her husband died in l951. She adopted the Hebrew name Meir, ‘to burn brightly’ in l956)

In August 1970, Meir accepted a U.S. peace initiative that called for an end to the War of Attrition and an Israeli pledge to withdraw to "secure and recognized boundaries" in the framework of a comprehensive peace settlement. The Gahal party quit the national unity government in protest, but Meir continued to lead the remaining coalition.[19]

Instead of being the happy mother, Golda felt a prisoner to poverty and housework. Living in Jerusalem, separated from her Labor-Zionist friends, she felt intellectually stagnant. Live seemed like an endless search for cures to children's illnesses and material needs.
